It is the separated/former spouse’s responsibility to notify the agency of any changes in their name and/or their mailing address.
The Office of General Counsel is not involved in the name or address change process. Any name or address changes must be submitted to an agency Field Office.
The changes must be submitted with the employee's name and social security number. This ensures proper filing and notification.
Failure to report a name or address change without referring to the employee's social security number may result in missed payments.
